During this time each one of us has benefited greatly from contact with many friends and colleagues who have directly and indirectly influenced our thinking about grammar, its organisation and its teaching. We have benefited from many sources of advice and guidance, always given freely and in the spirit of collaboration, on a range of matters that have affected the design, wording and presentation of this book and its companion workbook volume.
Some names deserve a special expression of our gratitude. First and foremost we thank the editorial teams at Cambridge University Press. In particular we thank Alison Sharpe for commissioning the English Grammar Today project and for being a source of always perceptive, reliable advice through the earliest stages of the project.
In the latter stages we have enjoyed similar advice and guidance from Robert Vernon and Matthew Duffy. In the day to day hurly burly of text construction and deconstruction we owe much to three colleagues at the Press who patiently and wisely guided us through innumerable stages of writing and re-writing: Tom Allen, Lynn Dunlop and Therese Tobin. All three got up close and personal to the manuscripts of this book and the English Grammar Today Workbook and provided invaluable critique, advice and insight.
We owe an especial debt to Therese Tobin who has remained a close working colleague and friend over many years and who has been an unfailing source of ideas and support, at times during very difficult personal circumstances. It has been a privilege for us to work with her. But, with a little practice and patience, you can discover how to communicate better through self-study in your spare time.
The English Grammar Workbook for Adults is here to help improve your writing fluency so you can gain confidence while crafting emails, cover letters, conducting daily business, and personal correspondence.
